Mine, as I said previously, is known as ethafoam in America and Australia, where I live, even if it did come from England originally.....it has had virtually constant use for at least 20 years and shows no sign of breaking down!
On the other hand, I had a polystyrene pillow from an English supplier which didn't last me six months. Then the supplier offered to sell me an extra hard pillow - but having had experience of them, I declined. I find that the extra hard pillows tend to "grab" the pins and make removing them very difficult. Like others have said, a layer of something over the hard polystyrene helps, but when I found someone in America who sells ethafoam pillows, I had one of those sent out...so now I'm the happy and contented owner of two ethafoam pillows.
